The Art of Public Speaking 11e continues to define the art of being the best by helping today's students
become capable, responsible speakers and thinkers. With a strong focus on the practical skills of public speaking
and grounded in classical and contemporary theories of rhetoric, The Art of Public Speaking offers full
coverage of all major aspects of speech preparation and presentation. Utilizing the full suite of resources, students
learn to internalize the principles of public speaking, build confidence through speech practice, and prepare for
success in the classroom and beyond. With the new Enhanced Speech Capture in Connect Lucas, instructors now have
the ability to evaluate live speeches using a customizable rubric in the classroom. Instructors may also upload
speech videos on students' behalf to create and manage true peer review assignments. With its ground-breaking adaptive
learning system, Connect Lucas also helps students "know what they know," while guiding them to experience
and learn important concepts that they need to know to succeed.
With McGraw-Hill Create Reflow, instructors can now customize their Lucas 11e textbook to the section level, selecting
